Harbor Plaza near Port of Long Beach to be closed for next two weekends

Motorists using Harbor Plaza to get around the Port of Long Beach will have to figure out an alternative route for the next two weekends.

The street from Pico Avenue to Harbor Scenic Drive will be closed on July 7-8 and July 14-15 because of a waterline replacement project, which began in March.

The port suggests using Harbor Scenic Drive. Harbor Patrol officers will be at both ends of Harbor Plaza, and can provide, if necessary, access to the Administration Building from Pico, and to the Maintenance Facilities construction site from Harbor Scenic.
